Community Outdoor Ice Rinks
The City's Community Associations sponsors several outdoor ice rinks that are maintained by volunteers. Please remember the following while enjoying community rinks:
- Rinks are unsupervised. Residents should use at their own risk.
- Protective equipment including helmets, knee pads, and elbow pads are highly recommended.
- Physical abuse or horseplay is not permitted.
- Skaters and hockey players must be considerate of each other and divide up the ice for mutual enjoyment.
- Keep the area free of litter.
- Since rinks are cared for by volunteers, please bring a shovel and help keep areas free of snow.
- Stay off the ice if a rink is closed for maintenance.

Get Involved with Local Ice Rinks
The flooding and use of hydrants and standpipes are done by Certified Ice Rink Captains. Only volunteers who have attended the City of Prince George Ice Making Workshop and possess current certification can operate this equipment. The City offers this free workshop each year in November.
Information on how to volunteer will be posted when available.
